Application led January 23, 1909. Serial No, 474,948.

To allwhom it may concern Be it known that I, Ronx'irgl?. Bnowiv, a`citizen of the Unit/ed States, residing 1n the city of Philadelphia,county of Philadelphia,and State of Pennsylvania, have :invented certainImprovements in'- Paper Boxes, i My invention is av paper boxmadeof aVsingle sheet kof, material lhaving integral parts` hinged 'together sothat the blank can be brought to 'form readily.

My object is to producea simple, inex-l pensive, strong, eicient andreadily assembled construction adapted for holding clothing.

In'the diravvings, 1 isa plan-view fisj a view Yof a partly closed boxformed-from said blank Fig- 3 is a perspetive-vievvgof the samebox'clos'edg Fig.` 4is seetionfalyiew of anend ofthe box; nig. `5isadplgn'view-of blank use@ in;

the end sections 16 separated'by the through cuts 17 and turning alongthe score lines 18 so that they can be brought to position ping thefolded end members connectedv with Aat right angles to the part 1 andoverlap? the bottom and sides, the side section 19 turning along thecrease line 20 so'. that it separated froml the parts 16 the throughcuts 22 and turning alongthejscoreglines so that they can be broughtwithin the `folded ends 16. y Ears 24 on the part 19 it `in termed` inthe part 4 4Aby the dovetailed cuts 25. VEars 24 may .be-formed on the4parts 16 and Aslots 25-,formed.in the parts i will overlap the-part 4,andthe parts 21 Athe slots 2, the, ears andslots engaging to holdthe e.parts together. In lieu of or 4in add'tion` to theears, a oord 26 `ma.be used to.k fp the parts in their assemb ed position and theboxclosod.V `v`It will be understood that the end. flaps 6, 1 1 land 21,being disposedyvithin the parts 2 andY between :the parts 1 and. 14, Y-act both t-o close the corners andstiften' the construction so thatliability'to Zllufshin'g'v is Y reduced to a minimum. ,TheQlapS'GfaHd 21being between'the'top audibo'ttomof the box, they exert a lever likeaction" to hQldthe sides .4andgl'togethen v i Referri 3`ig's. ,5 f` to'8. inclusive, lthe construction here represented Vcomprises 'the',.rectangularf bottom 27, the rect-1a ngfulaiside, 2 8 turningtoapposition at,right-'afr1'gle's-' toI the hottomxalong the scorregline..29, the endg, f sections .3 0 turning on the s`coreglines 31.to

position atright angles tothe folded` sec- -tion 28, the rectangularvside 32 turningfon the score line w33. to' position at right angles tothe part 27, the end sections 34 turning on the score lines 35 so as tohe' brought to positions at right angles to' the positioned parts 27 and32, the rectangular top 36 turning on the score'line 37, the sidesection ,38

of the top turning on the score line 39,l the` end sections 40 of thepart 38 turning`on the score lines 41, the end. sections 42 of the part36-separated from the. parts 34 and 40 by the respective through cuts'44and 44' and turning onthe score line.43, and the flaps 45 on the parts42 turning on'.` the score lines 46. In the assembled or foldedconstruction the end sect-ions 30, 34 and 4() lie within the sections42' and the flaps 45 slip between them and the bottom-to hold. theseveral parts together; the infolded end [laps 3 0, 34 and 40 closingthe corners, stitfening the construction and holtling the sides inplace.

'Vith the aps45 resting on the bottom 27 and supporting the flaps 30and"40` the latter' aps are prevented from springing down whereby theside 28 is held against inward movement and the side 38 against atendency to spring outward from the side 28.

This second vform of. box may .beiprovidedwith the slots rand .earsshown in -'the' `li rs`t formfor holding'the overlapping sides to-Agether.` It will be understood that` as .the'
